THE ANCESTRY OF JESUS

[Luke 3:38] ...the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

After Seth and Enosh (Genesis 5) daughters are also mentioned.

Adam was called God's son and so were called all the sons of Adam. Ben Adam (Son of Adam or human being) was the title Jesus used when referring to Himself.

Commonly so, those who have descended from Adam's patrimonial line were called sons of God; for this reason genealogies were faithfully kept.

CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY & JUDAISM

The moment the Bible landed in Christian hands genealogies were discarded and skipped. Out of the Torah the five books of Moses only the Ten Commandments were chosen. Out of the Old Testament only the Books of Psalms and Prophets were favored. Psalms helped in the formulation of prayers and the prophets in the formulation of eschatology. Jesus is believed to be the only begotten Son of God. The rest of all humans were perhaps evolved animals [confusion]. In Islam God is not the Father and so those who worship Allah are His servants, even slaves, not children. Although Jesus was the Firstborn Son; and of all creation (Ap. Paul’s words the founder of Christianity)—yet, this would not suit the Christian theology. Yet, none of us were born in heaven with the mission to come to earth and die for the world. Jesus was born twice: in heaven and on earth. We were also born twice: in heaven and on earth; and there comes the third birth, which makes one like wind (John 3:3-8). By then one sins no more for one cannot sin, for such is born of God the Spirit.  

MY FATHER, YOUR FATHER, MY GOD, YOUR GOD

[John 20:17] I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God. - Wrote John quoting Jesus. 

Christians did not know that Jews know their family tree. Although many converted to just the religion, to belong, they are not taught their ancestry. At the time of Jesus, and at the height of proselytizing, many were able to prove their ancestry all the way to Adam. Such genealogical record was also available to Mary and Joseph. 

After resurrection Jesus said to Mary that He ascends to His Father and our Father; His God and our God. (Present day Christian theology can be confusing.) The God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel has no beginning; henceforth God was never born.

CAIN WAS ALSO GOD’S SON

To show the power of choice, after knowing what is wrong and right, good and evil, Cain chose his wrathful emotion over the education he just received (Genesis 4). The purpose of teaching is to train our brain in connectivity. A disconnect leads to catastrophic consequences. Faultily wired brain is incapable to apply knowledge presented by another mind. Therefore, Cain chose to not listen to God’s mind, but to his own—an illusion he believed in. Cain’s soul wielded the upper hand over his mind and so his brain remained unchanged. Cain’s wrathful disposition seemed to give him a wicked lustful pleasure; otherwise it is hard to explain the actions that followed.

In Genesis 4:7 God spoke to Cain telling him that if he would do well he would smile and be happy, but if he would do wrong he would be downcast and even depressed. Cain chose the latter.

Cain was Adam’s son therefore God’s son too. There was no penance, no contrition and repentance. When Cain left God’s presence in Eden (the region), and sojourned in the land of Nod; he carried the volatile angry disposition with him.

Cain’s records stop being traced. Sporadically we come upon his descendants the Kenites. Obviously the Kenite settled Canaan (Genesis 15:19) the first root was Kenite and its offshoots all the other nations.

In the New Testament Kenites are called the tares; the masses are called the field, and the good seed is called the sons of God (Matthew 13:30; 38).

The first devil was Cain (John 8:44 and 1John 3:5-12). Cain’s children and imitators of his deeds are called the devils. However, the good seed has a genealogical record and that’s why it is being kept.

SONS OF GOD TOOK WIVES

[Genesis 6:2] The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose

There were other people on earth, which the sons of God took for their wives. Cain said, “whoever finds me will kill me” (Genesis 4:14). The “whoever” was not his own family, was it? Cain did not object to his punishment for the evil he committed, but felt insecure. God appointed a sign for Cain to preserve him. The same God did for Adam and Eve for in time He can teach them repentance, which in Hebrew means a complete return (SHOOV) to their Maker. Time is space and space is grace.

[Psalms 104:4] He makes the winds (Lit. His angels, spirits) His messengers, flaming fire His ministers (Lit. His ministers flames of fire).

In the New Testament is being quoted, [Hebrews 1:7] “And of the angels He says, ’Who makes His angels winds, and His ministers a flame of fire.’”

Obviously, an angel (Malach, which can also mean a messenger) is not flesh and blood, compatible with human flesh. Angels are not Homo sapiens, but spirits.

[Mark 12:25] “For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven”—Jesus.

Angels are genderless and they were never born in heaven or on earth; they were created. Angels, or men, are mentioned interchangeably in the Bible. They behave differently. Those who touch physically, eat and drink are men like Enoch, Melchizedek, or Elijah; they never died and therefore are interchangeable. The body of Jesus was transposable after resurrection. He ate and drank, appeared and disappeared. He said to Thomas, “Touch Me.”

These overcomers have nothing to do with sexual procreation anymore. They would not come back to earth and lusted after the human female flesh. Preposterous. Only compatible with the earth and with the human beings’ bodies, only men could have married women and bring forth an offspring.

When the genetic mix occurred; sometimes giants were also born. Giants, of different sizes produced more giants. In time, due to inbreeding giants completed their mission on earth and gradually vanished. They were used as the frontline champions, like Goliath who faced David. Others were defensive like the king of Og of Bashan. Israelites killed off the last remnant of giants. However, their genes are in us. These genetic markings are evident to the scientist, and about 30% of the earth’s population seems to contain them

LIKE ANGELS AFTER RESURRECTION

[Luke 20:34-36] And Jesus said to them, “The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage, [35] but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; [36] for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.”

Like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

“Like angels, sons of God—being sons of the resurrection”—in this sense. Resurrection changes us making us compatible with the spiritual realm we call heaven.

Since angels are genderless and they were never born in heaven or on earth; they have no reproductive organs. To a man an angel may look like a man and to a woman like a woman. We see things subjectively, because we are more attached to our bodies than to the living spirit. We filter things individually and we rush to disagreements because of it. Objectivity must come from an arbitrary third party, without which the truth may be blurred.

I do not put down anyone’s religion, but according to the Scripture, which the Mormons claim to know so well; they miss the Gospel of Luke 20, big time—there are no heavenly marriages. Each individual remains as an original individual and genderless.

[John 1:12-13] But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

John was shocked when he discovered this truth and he frequently spoke of the rights; of adoption and becoming God’s children. The departure from the Creator was so severe that to imagine that we could be the siblings of Christ was just too much. Today we know this to be self-evident and completely true.

LIFE & KNOWLEDGE

The study of any beginnings is a waste of time. Let’s say that we know the beginning then what? Does it change anything? If we know we only can say that we do. It even does not satisfy our ego nor does it gratify human pride.

A false or true knowledge alone is only knowledge; it remains in the state of something dormant and unfulfilled. A false or true knowledge must be realized—to one’s advantage or disadvantage, to blessing or to curse. Eventually, all knowledge leads to actions resulting in behavior.

In the Gospel of Thomas (Gnostic, verse 18) The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us how our end will be." Jesus said, "Have you discovered, then, the beginning, that you look for the end? For where the beginning is, there will the end be. Blessed is he who will take his place in the beginning; he will know the end and will not experience death."

It has always been my understanding that all planets in cosmos were the contributors and servants. They served the earth and then they split away and formed their own separate (also round) entities. I would not be surprised if ancient life forms were still visible.

NASA's robotic rover on Mars has found signs that a vast and hospitable lake once spread over the now-desolate Martian surface, providing a potential home to past life for centuries or longer.

From the blob came the separation and harmonization. Genesis 1 does not speak of the order of creation for verse 1 reads that God created heavens and the earth, period. The following verses speak of life forms put into order.

Life forms vary. Spirit and Life are synonymous, but not one and the same because each form has more or less life according to their function on this planet. We all breathe and move, but the cognizance capacity is different and that’s what makes us unique.

ADAPTATION

Organisms face a succession of environmental challenges as they grow and develop. They come equipped with an adaptive plasticity. This plasticity is also in humans.

The changing weather patterns cause droughts, floods or freezing affecting fauna and in turn omnivores and herbivores. The same happens in the oceans, streams, rivers and lakes. With those changes come many challenges, which some species overcome and then adapt to. Some have a hard time adapting and so they succumb to the changing environment and die.

We all adapt but the wrong way. If we succumb to the pressures of an increasingly immoral society, we conform, but to straying humans, rather than to the original laws of creation. Violation of those laws brings decay and eventually death. Adherence to the laws of life, as they were actually meant to be, is the correct adaptation. But for humans, this sort of adaptation is through the gain of knowledge. People perish for lack of the right caliber of knowledge.

CHANGING DNA THROUGH INTENTION

The power of intentional thoughts and emotions goes beyond theory at the Institute of HeartMath. In a study, researchers have tested this idea and proven its veracity.

According to the Institute of HeartMath in Boulder Creek, California, epigenetics encompasses far more than just DNA, our environment and life experience. After two decades of study, the researchers discovered that factors like love, appreciation, anxiety or anger; do influence a person's blueprint. In one experiment, select participants were able to change DNA with positive mental states.

"An individual holding three DNA samples was directed to generate heart coherence—a beneficial state of mental, emotional and physical balance and harmony—with the aid of a HeartMath technique that utilizes heart breathing and intentional positive emotions. The individual succeeded, as instructed, to intentionally and simultaneously unwind two of the DNA samples to different extents and leave the third unchanged."

Control group volunteers who had low heart coherence were unable to alter the DNA.

      

Some Evangelical Christian Churches teach two Gospels: the Kingdom Gospel and the Gospel of Grace. Since there are two peoples, the Jew and the Gentile Christian what the apostle Paul preached was his gospel, which he directed to the Gentiles. Paul specifically spoke of being grafted into the cultivated olive tree by grace, which the Jew is.

[Romans 11:24] For if you were cut off from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these who are the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree?

Paul used the term ‘my gospel’ three times, (Romans 2:16, 16:25 & 2Timothy 2:8). Paul’s gospel was the gospel of grace after the cross and although he saw Jesus in a vision and heard his voice on the way to Damascus Paul did not know Jesus the way the twelve knew Him; hence he uses this expression:

[2Corinthians 5:16] Therefore from now on we recognize no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him in this way no longer.

Today we have disputes about these two gospels, which are being interpreted as: one is meant for Judaism and the Jews; and the other for the church and Gentile Christians.

Once you make two camps out of God’s people the cultivated and the grafted, you start to organize, define, indoctrinate and then control. This futile work of flesh leads to nowhere else but to even more confusion and complication of something plain.

THE KINGDOM GOSPEL

[Matthew 24:14] This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

In the gospels this expression gospel of the kingdom is being used five times; three times the gospel of grace and three times my gospel - in Paul’s letters. Paul almost singlehandedly created the Christian Church, which for the greater part excluded the Jew from its ranks. 

Why it is being interpreted this way is hard to explain for there are too many twists and turns making it a very tedious work. So we won’t even go there. What we will signify is the two schools of thought and that in my view comes from dualism.

Dualism is a watered-down polytheism, out of many we come down to two forces, entities or even divinities, the Almighty God vis-à-vis Satan. This dualistic thinking constantly departs from one God and interprets the Bible with exactly this dualistic frame of mind. Consequently, all other ideas follow suit.

The Kingdom Gospel is comprised into one.

[Matthew 10:5-6]  These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: “Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans; [6] but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” [15:24] But He answered and said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

[Luke 15:4, 6] What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? [6] And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’

These views portray the gospel of the kingdom to be for the Jews only and Paul’s gospel of grace for the Gentiles only. This organization of thoughts—and with those thoughts also camps—leads only but to a rift and more confusion. Based on these renditions, the Christian Church is then labeled as the Bride of Christ and it goes in rapture before tribulation; while the Jew stays on earth during this final holocaust. Another supposition is this: the Christian Church cannot function in the Jewish camp that’s why it must go before the Jew goes through tribulation.

What a terrible fix we find ourselves in. This totally unnecessary mulling over the New Testament brings only confusion. It’s a waste of time, but not according to the proponents of these ideas. They honestly think that they teach the truth and are on the right track with their thinking.Yet, it is only thinking, and believing to be so, or ought to be so.

FAITH = RIGHTEOUSNESS

Believing itself, in the Christian mind, constitutes righteousness; and based on that belief there is nothing else to do but only believe. 100% of the time the word believing is being used in the context of something magical and miraculous. There is more to believing or accepting something as being true. There is the little faith, great faith and God's gift of faith, which moves mountains. 

[Romans 4:3] For what does the Scripture say? “ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” [Galatians 3:6] Even so Abraham BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. – Apostle Paul.

But Jacob the brother of Jesus said,

[James 2:19-25] You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. [20] But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless? [21] Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? [22] You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected; [23] and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS,” and he was called the friend of God. 2[4] You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. [25] In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? [26] For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

The point James is making is that Abraham did indeed take his son Isaac to Mt. Moriah, which was three days walk, and he was about to sacrifice him on the alter. Thus Abraham activated his faith. God intervened and Abraham’s fruit of faith was no longer mental (acceptance of something as being true), but actual. This supernatural intervention can be deemed as being miraculous, and such it was. Can we conclude that without the work of faith the miraculous is inactive? Jesus said in Matthew 7:16 & 20 “You will know them by their fruits.” – Therefore, words and deeds.

This leads to two places. Let’s start with [Genesis 9:27] May God enlarge Japheth, and let him dwell in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be his servant.

Everyone knows that Japheth was the ancestor of the Greek people through Javan. Apostle Paul spread his gospel of grace mostly to the Greek people. Christianity became a separate religious camp although it was an offshoot of the Hebrews and no longer dwelled in the tent of Shem. By developing its own theology, separate from the Jewish root, Christianity went a bit too far in exalting itself. God abases the proud and exalts the humble; therefore no matter how much you believe in what you teach and hear it will not happen according to your belief. It will happen the God’s way, which in all humility being subject to the guidance of the Holy Spirit we must study.  

See or not see death

The other verse is from the Gospel of [John 8:51] Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he will never see death. Jesus’ brother Jacob (James) grasped it well for it was the doing and KEEPING of the word and not just believing that bypasses death. Not seeing any kind of death is quite interesting; a prize one should go after at any cost. Man’s way is to settle things in theology. But God’s way is to leave things undefined and moving in the progression of time. Let God have His own way; in time He will perfectly explain it all to us because exactly for this reason He had sent the Holy Spirit (John 16:13). When the Spirit of Truth really teaches us; it is in such a way that no one can disagree. It is tight, logical and perfect.     

Finally, Jesus said in [John 14:15] if you love Me, you will keep My commandments. These words are quickly converted into believing only, which to the Gentile mind means keeping. Why? Greeks loved philosophy, thinking and imagining. These characteristics are typical Greek and these ideas were used to Hellenize the Jews.

Love is a deed and not only an emotion. Love requires connection, cooperation and exchange.

Hellenization had the profoundest impact on the monotheistic Jewish mind. Besides it being already impaired in Medo-Persia where Jews played with Zoroastrianism and from which came dualism; it also passed through the Greek philosophizing, imagining; mental ramblings from which also came the Book of Jubilees, the Watchers and the Book of Enoch. These three pieces or literature are imbecilic for they draw us away from God and His oneness. The Almighty is sovereign over all of His creation and fully in charge of it, yet human idiots dared to take away from Him that authority and power. These fools not only led themselves astray but through their writings the countless many. Anyone attributing gaps and even the tiniest impotence to God is mentally impaired.

These strong words are being used on purpose and here are the reasons.

  

When rapture comes then to what kind of heaven will the believers go? The same one from which Lucifer fell with the subordinate to him one third of angels. If one third then what is a myriad? Etc.
 
There is so much more to explain, but in this short narrative we cannot cover all ideas and make all ways straight. It takes time to be fully reformed.

THE ATTAINMENT OF PERFECTION

The mistake of separating the Gentile from the Jew is rooted in silly rivalries. The Gentile was not trained in God’s ways as the Jew was. Therefore Jesus said, Salvation is from the Jews (John 4:22). Something remains incomplete and even off-track when the Gentile does not learn anything from the Jew. Gentiles developed their own philosophy/theology and did not learn anything from the writers of the Bible. By distancing themselves from the Jewish culture, language and train of thought the Jewish Bible was viewed through the (proud) Gentile eye. Consequently, Christian theology contains many gaps and discrepancies.

Believing in the rapture, before tribulation, or rapture after tribulation is only a belief and it has no legs to stand on. It is Greek philosophizing and a waste of time, which could have been used on the improvement of our spiritual cognizance and the strengthening of our righteousness. After righteousness comes holiness, and after holiness comes perfection. And although it starts with the procurement of the liberating truth; it goes on to the development of righteous, holiness and perfection; something that is indeed compatible with God our Creator.

The source scripture: [Matthew 5:48] Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Since believing is the norm of righteousness then believing in perfection makes no sense; hence, in most people's minds perfection is unattainable. Yet, in 1John 1:8-9 we start the journey with sin confession and in 1John 3:9 & 5:18 we complete the journey with not sinning anymore. Theologically these two scriptures are discordant. But those who took the journey attain, and the closer they come to their destination the more they know that perfection is obtainable; hence TELEIOS applies to maturing... until perfection. In that sense, and when that happens; they are no longer under any religious earthly authority, but under God’s authority directly.

Since God is God, and He does not mature, nor does He attain; we must continue in the Spirit of Jesus when we use this Greek word TELEIOS. God is perfect. He does not attain. He is. We attain, grow and mature. 

[NOTE] In John 3:3-8 we read about seeing the Kingdom, entering and being born of the Spirit and becoming like wind whereas no one knows whence one comes and where one goes. These three stages of development are compared to three births. Theologically these three stages (John 3:3-8) do not agree, but when experienced they are beyond the scope of anyone’s interpretation or (correct or incorrect) theology.   

For this reason…

[Ephesians 4:11-13] And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, [12] for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; [13] until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a (perfect) mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

[Hebrews 6:1]  Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to (perfection) maturity.

In these three places we find the word perfection translated as maturity. This word TELEIOS, (TELEIOSETA and TELEION) means both maturity as well as perfection and it is used in Ephesians 4:13 as well as in Hebrews 6:1. Regardless how differently translations treat these two words in the context, there is the attainment, maturity and perfection; and it is not by thinking alone, but also practicing and keeping what one knows.

SALVATION & THE KINGDOM

Now we came to the point of understanding that God actually hardened and blinded the Jewish people, but only partially; until the fullness of the Gentiles have come in. When that final number of the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel, as seen by God, is *complete then will come resurrection (Rom. 11:15). If I have surprised you here then that’s good.

*[NOTE] In Genesis 15:16 God said to Abraham that the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet complete; for that reason Abraham's descendants had to go to Egypt. After 470 years they conquered Canaan because by then Amorite iniquity was complete. 

The Lost sheep of the House of Israel are really Israel, which was dispersed and was mixed with the Goyim (nations) and lost its original identity as the (10) tribes of Israel. Only Judah and Levi (priests) remained, but the ten tribes were lost. Nonetheless the original covenant of God with Abraham, regarding his descendants, remains. If you will, you can call it the original and everlasting anointing, for God’s callings and gifts are irrevocable (Rom. 11:29). The timeless God sees it all; only we move in segments and periods; hence we see fragments. God sees it all at once without the interference of time’s intervals.

The dragnet that catches the fish (finds the lost sheep) is Christianity today in many forms. That was the prime call of Paul (not a Jew but a Benjaminate convert to Judaism) and exactly for this task.

God seeks His children and not converted into sheep wolfs. The prodigal son was lost and returned back to his father’s house. So it is with the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel. The Gentile Christians, if they are really born again, are not really Gentiles. If they hate the *Jew then they hate their brother Yehuda the Jews.

*[NOTE] Only Judah was exiled to Babylon, not the ten tribes of Israel; by which time Israel was already dispersed and only remnants remained; hence the expression, Galilee of the Gentiles (Isaiah 9:1). When Judah returned from exile under Ezra and Nehemiah they were then called Jews. In Hebrew “Yehuda” means both Judah and Jews (Yehudeem in plural).

When one is saved one enters and that is not the final stage. One is saved by grace and lives by grace, thereby; one advances by going deeper into God’s Kingdom. What Kingdom? – The same Kingdom, which the Gospel of the Kingdom proclaims. There are not two gospels but one.

The apostle Paul was called to the Gentiles for Jesus had made him a fisherman of men; and yes, to find the lost sheep of the house of Israel dispersed among and mixed with the gentiles. Paul’s success was not fully understood by Peter and the Jerusalem church, which was still composed of Jewish believers only. They did not understand God’s plan, nor did they understand the words of their Master, “Do not go in the way of the Gentiles” because Israelites were lost through the loss of their original identity. They adopted the Gentile ways and blended; these, Jesus came to find, and bring in to the fold.

[John 10:16] I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.

Reverberating the Old Testament prophecies of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Zechariah God in His omniscient (timeless) mind saw it all.

There are not two gospels and there is nothing special about the Church, just as there is nothing special about the Jew. Rivalry is futile. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever (Isaiah 40:8). What it all leads to is self-nullification, which then acquires the God-identity, which Jesus had practiced. All things are then explained and made simple. 

IN CLOSING

Being saved is not the ultimate goal for as the word implies one is only saved from… One is in, and lives forever. But just as there are gradations of attainment, even perfection; we should not rest in the Gospel of Grace reassuring ourselves of being saved, but rather going deeper into God’s Kingdom. When you drown, and someone throws you a lifesaver, you do not sit on the lifesaver and drift to nowhere, but you get to the shore, or into a boat that brings you to the shore. Why this is so important? – Because of the danger of falling away and losing one’s soul.

Enjoying just the border is not enough for you can slip out of the Kingdom falling into a trap of just the fleshly pursuits and yes, even lose your salvation. Go deeper. Study God, His character, and the laws of the Kingdom for that is His will for you.

[Matthew 10:28] Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to *destroy (Greek APOLESAI) both soul and body in hell (*Gehenna).

*[NOTE] The Hebrew word “Abaddon” and its Greek equivalent “Apollyon” speak of utter destruction. It is also believed that an angel of destruction brings this about. Gehenna is a derivative of the Hebrew Gehinnom a valley of Ben Hinnom outside Jerusalem where refuse was being burned day and night. From this allegory comes hell.

Clearly, Jesus uses the word “destroy” and not eternal torment.           

Partake of the rich (Jewish) root of the cultivated olive tree (Rom. 11:17); these riches are not to be wasted. God’s dealings with Israel and then with Judah were for no other reason, but to introduce to the Gentiles His glory and His absolute sovereignty over the entire creation. For this God used Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego and Daniel to show the kings of Babylon and Persia that there are no other gods. He shone His bright light into their darkened minds and revealed Himself as the only One God. The result was: the three kings, Nebuchadnezzar, Darius and Cyrus proclaimed the God of the Jews to be the only one God in the whole world. Success! Mission accomplished. Jews returned home to Zion.

The same is happening today. As Jews return to Zion they leave behind Christianity, but only the remnant will be perfected. These changes happen right now. Those of us who are Israeli Jews (émigré) are called to teach the Gentile Christians their heritage today, and then close the chapter.   

God had temporarily and partially hardened, and blinded the Jew (Romans 11:8); until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. This fullness means the complete number of the lost sheep. All Israelites are then brought into the fold - the number only God knows about.

Just as Joseph in Egypt no longer looked like an Israelite, but like an Egyptian, so is the case with the lost sheep. They are not recognizable, except when they hear the Gospel of the Kingdom and the Gospel of Grace. Whichever gospel stirs and triggers response it acts like a fisherman’s dragnet catching the fish God has in mind.

[Romans 10:14; 17] How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? [17] So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

Clearly, there must be an evangelist, a sound and the addressing of a hearer. After that sound heaven is stirred bringing the heavenly gift of faith (1Corinthians 12:9). God's faith then comes to save.

Our faith accepts that which is being preached. In other words our faith makes room for God’s faith and that is called NAVEH in Hebrew, faith’s habitation.

Jews could not accept Christ as their Messiah 2000 years ago because it was not yet the time. In His omniscience God saw it all. He saw His lost sheep for He does not give up on something He Himself affixed to eternity. How could He? The means of finding them may be questionable to a Jew, but not to the Christian. Nonetheless, it is God’s way and not our theological way.

Look at God’s grace. God gave one dispensation to the Jew and another to the Gentile who still searches for identity. That identity is no race, culture, or religious belonging, but the Father of us all. Until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in (Rom. 11:25)… until then these two dispensations remain. By grace the Gentile is saved and grafted into the cultivated olive tree. But is the Gentile really partaking of this rich root?

We are in the overlapping period where God is about to humble the Christian pride in order to show even more grace, which leads to perfection and even the immortality Jesus had promised.   

[Ezekiel 37:19] ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand.”’

Joseph was not integrated into Israel’s tribes, but instead his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. Joseph is a type of Jesus. Egypt is synonymously called the world. Jesus is taken for a Christian god and does not look Jewish anymore. Joseph became the Egyptian god, unrecognizable to his brothers. Joseph and Ephraim and his companions… This is the Christian Church. There will come a time when only in famine Jesus can be recognized as the Messiah. This famine is coming.

[Amos 8:11] “Behold, days are coming,” declares the Lord GOD, “When I will send a famine on the land, Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water, But rather for hearing the words of the LORD.”

God’s words are never complicated, but very clear for it is His truth. 

[Zechariah 12:10] I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.

Jesus is not the only begotten, but the Firstborn Son of God. We are His siblings and so He gave us the right (John 1:12) to return to God as His children; not hirelings or laborers, but sons. Jesus was born in heaven and on earth, but born. The God of Israel was never born. Through the Firstborn we can return to our God.   

[Romans 11:32] For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.

If you have been blessed and your understanding has been augmented then please do not remain silent.

The idea of Moses receiving the Torah in one long sentence without pauses settled well with the proponents of the Bible codes. A computer program skips a number of letters from which it makes legible sense making up words and sentences. It suits us to believe that God is like an all-knowing computer. In the age of computers and astounding connectivity the microprocessors stream out more new information than human brain ever could. Naturally we attribute these qualities to the Almighty. But why do we need to have a tradition of an acceptance of someone who affirmatively and authoritatively taught it; be it a saintly Rabbi or a scholar? When it suits us we take their statements as true and when it does not we do not bother. This selectivity is typical of the inquisitive human beings. 

This world of ours is filled with mysteries. We will never explain everything we stumble upon in our life. My task is to draw attention not to mysteries, sensationalizing something that needs no spin in order to grab someone’s attention, but rather to the straight and simple thoughts.

I have no problem with 6000 years or 60,000 years, 600,000 or 6million years. The 24-hour time intervals were not the same 6000 years ago as they are today. Call it an abstract thought, but why? [2Peter 3:8] with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. Time changes. The earth changes, gravity and distances, because everything moves and ages. The Universe expands and with it time.

No matter how smart our calculations of time may be; they prove nothing. A blind belief in the Bible as God’s (final) Word also proves nothing. What do you do after you have established that the Bible is God’s True Word? Will you push your own dogma to wrap someone around your own finger and then, I suppose, sell? Commercialism is usually at the bottom of any camp building and man’s dogmas. The first stage is to make someone believe and then based on that belief we sell this by ‘driving a screw into people’s heads’ telling them that they need it. We sensationalize things to draw people not to God and His Truth, but to ourselves, to our teaching, just to make a big splash. The egocentric works of self know no limits and no temperance. It is impertinent, but often well concealed. This “classy” way of getting away with one’s secret agenda is quite common. Into this Kenite system we fell like a fly into a honey jar and like to swim in.

The driving of the screw into people’s heads—that the Bible being the infallible Word of God, final and wholesome—has a purpose, as it has been partially explained already. It has to do with recruitment.

An opportunity arises when one can steady someone’s wobbling beliefs. One camp is not truer than another camp, but that’s what is happening. Today agnostics and atheists stand in stark contrast to believers the proponents of the Bible as the complete and invariable Word of God. These contrasts speak volumes. Without contrasts there are no choices. The logic we derive from the Bible is that ultimately it comes down to our choice between right and wrong, good and evil. Therefore spotting those elements is what the Creator is really after. One must not choose one camp over another. One cannot brand a denomination, scientific or even an agnostic community as being good or evil, for that is subjective. These kind of attitudes come from sentiments strife and yes restlessness; and when nurtured they do not promote intelligence for intelligence thrives in peace.

What speaks volumes is this verse, “Seek peace and pursue it” (New Testament of the Bible, 1Peter 3:11). Another verse is Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons of God.” When we concentrate on making peace we will also start creating this rare commodity. The overpowering of evil with good is overpowering war with peace (Romans 12:21), for only in peace we walk and think straight. It is never one beliefs camp, or disbelief, versus another.

When labeling a denomination as being Christian, or not being one, has to do with definitions of Christianity. This sort of a trend had its start during the Hellenistic period by the Hasmoneans who called up a cast of Pharisees. Their job was to fix Jewish beliefs and formerly establish Judaism as the official Jewish religion. When Jesus came He shook up those fixed beliefs, which were worked on for over 200 years. Why? Freedom is what God loves. God frees while man binds. In Christianity, under the Roman Emperor Constantine the Christian church did the same by unifying tenets of faith, but that was to centralize and control. In this kind of a system an independent thinker was branded a heretic. Personal and free relationship with God was also heretical, etc.

Times have changed but did man change? Denominationalism, sectarianism, political parties; groups with centralized and narrowed down beliefs systems oppose each other. It is a form of appeasement of those warring and restless genes in us. Competitions, championships and trophies (in sports) stem from the same need; to appease rather than give vent to self-definitions and pride, which too often result in killing and destruction. Only after disasters man thinks of God and heaven, but instead of creating peace man is busy creating more camps, which eventually rival each other. With that frame of mind man turned his thoughts to God and heaven; and in search of answers has imagined that the first war was in heaven. One of such books is the Book of Jubilee, which is a complete nonsense and shall remain as such forever e.g., fallen angels came down to earth and taught us magic and witchcraft, etc. Instead of working on ourselves we look externally seeking to blame something or someone and… our restlessness experiences no healing peace.

What is going on? Why do we keep on defining things and settling them as final doctrines and why do we settle theories and beliefs? What’s wrong with keeping things suspended in the on-rolling time? And even if we have never settled something, which we would like to be in the imaginary control of, would we be so unhappy then? Observing that which is and not concluding, not yet, and again not yet… for infinity, is the way to go. There comes the blaming finger, “you said it and now you have changed.” What’s wrong with progress and refinement? “If you no longer believe this and that?” Why don’t you ask what changed it e.g., “do you have something better, truer, reasonable or stronger?” The answer can be a disappointment with something one strongly believed in, or one can tell what invalidated the old belief, which is an acceptance of something to be true. If I do not accept what I once have accepted as being true then I must have something higher and much better. And that’s the case with me today.

Today Darwin’s evolution theory became like a worn-out garment with too many holes. To patch up this moth-eaten garment is impossible. Carbon-14 testing is also worn-out and has stopped being accurate, but was it ever? We send man to the moon and robots to Mars, but when a commercial plane disappears from the radar screen; no one can find it on this rather small planet. Billions of dollars has been made from publications on evolution and more is to be made, which is okay as long as we are willing to change as new evidences present themselves.

What baffles archeologists today is the recent discovery of the upright walking ARDI, (Ardipithecus Ramidus). The elected “honorable” chimp fell off its throne and stopped being the ancestor of human beings. The evolutionary missing links still go missing. One laughs at another, but the one who really laughs is the Creator (Ps. 2:4).

Study the Creator who is Spirit and whom you are unable to define or control and you will find happiness. You will hear His voice and He will infuse you with His intelligence, which is always found in peace.  

The ardent defense of the evolutionary theory, in my view, was a waste of time, which could have been used on something much better than just examination of fossils. We can study fossils, but not conclude. Let the unanswered questions remain unanswered. What’s wrong with that?   

Man has no faith, which he claims to possess and uses, but only to define something loose. Little information must not necessarily produce one’s belief. After that one seeks to prove that he or she was right all along. That’s man’s foolish faith. True faith needs no such help for it is gift divine, which comes and goes and it is indeed miraculous. Verifiably, I state it to be so. One can accept my experiences with the supernatural or not, it does not bother me one bit if someone does not believe. In fact I do not expect anyone to believe when someone does not want to. The fact remains. I have experienced the welling up in me of the supernatural force of faith and then I have seen the miraculous first hand. There were times when miracles happened quite naturally; and there were times where I could do nothing for I experienced nothing. The gift of faith comes and goes and comes to us at special occasions. During those instances we no longer believe or hope, but know. This knowledge is wonderful for it contains not one shadow of any doubt, but is absolute surety. But again, there are times when that surety is not there.

Here is the point: we must study the reasons behind the arrival of this awesome gift of faith; when and why it comes and to whom; its infusion and its departure. What draws it, who draws it and why? This study produces the desirable fruit, which I must state here that I already know, but in a sense it is tricky, because it deals with my knowing of the human makeup, the psyche and general disposition. Because man hides many things; and most of the time pretends to be someone he or she is not; the knowledge of the (heavenly) Truth only irritates. The Truth wants to strip man of hypocrisy, which pretense is, but too often is not permitted. Therefore, whoever lives a truer life before God and is truer to self one finds favor, which I can see when the gift of faith wells up in me; and then it brings awareness. In no time miracles take place, be it physical instantaneous healing or even the expulsion of death in which place comes life. The Spirit of Life works on this basis. God wants to be compassionate to whom He will show compassion and be gracious to whomever He wants to be gracious (Exodus 33:19). These are the conditions; that is why it is quite difficult to teach people complete honesty and truthfulness. 

When the hidden secrets of mind and heart are addressed man would quickly try to call it as being false because these revelations tear down the mask of pretense. The protest may be inner and never come out, but that is even worse for it breeds turmoil. Before one can experience the awesome power of God one must at all cost seek to be true to him or herself and with their Creator.
